Naseeruddin Shah has recently commented on the success of the film The Kerala Story, calling it a "dangerous trend".

He said that the film's success is a sign of the growing intolerance in India, 

and that it is a worrying development. 

Those who agree with Shah argue that the success of  

The Kerala Story is a sign of the growing intolerance in India.  

They point to the fact that the film is based on a false narrative about the 

state of Kerala, and that it has been praised by Hindutva leaders. 

They argue that the film's success is a sign that people are 

becoming more willing to accept hate speech and propaganda.
